Arrived early due to the fastjet flight times but were accomodated immediately, they gave us breakfast and organised a room, very kind as 8.30 was a pretty early check in!!! Beautiful hotel, stunning rooms and ideal location for exploring stone town.

A pleasant efficient functional hotel on the edge of Stone Town and right beside the ferry port from Dar Es Alaam.
The staff were helpful at breakfast and lunch and the food was decent but basic, not haute cuisine but that would be hard to find in Zanzibar during Ramadam.
Good location to explore the local markets and explore the main town.
Easy to get taxis and the local little buses called Dali dal to go out to the beach Or see local fishermen in their dhows.
Staff helped me hire a bicycle which they thought was amusing and the security guard very kindly put it safely in their workshop for me overnight.
Their English was good and they appreciate you speaking some Swahili.
Just a ten minute walk to the sea front and the main part of Stone Town.
Large. Comfortable hotel to suit those who don't want too much personal contact from their hosts.

Warm welcome, with no problem getting into our room early. Staff were very apologetic that the top floor restaurant was closed that evening for a private function, but we were able to get up there for a coffee to admire the great view over the Stone Town rooftops.

We stayed in Kisiwa house 20th of May to 25th of May. The hotel is located in stone town old resident area. Here you can see the daily life of people. The hotel room is reasonable big, the ceiling is around 4 meters high, this gives you a very spacious feeling. The house keepers came 2 times a day to tidy up the room, spray mosquito, turn on the air conditioner for the guests. I never experienced such a good service in any other hotel.
The hotel staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and always greet you with smile. They don't take tips which are left in the room, only if you put the tip in the tip box at reception, which is for all the hotel staff to share.
The day we left, almost all the hotel staff came out to say good bye to us. We will never forget this place and will definitely come back!
